Can I give Advil 2-11 years (100mg\5ml) to my 11 month old baby (18lb) and if so how many ml?

Hello Mrs,

Advil is given according to the child's weight, regardless of the formulation used.

The dose is 5 to 10 mg of medication per kg of your child's weight every 6 to 8 hours, maximum 4 times per 24 hours.

For a child weighing 8 kg, that's 40 to 80 mg of Advil, so 2 to 4 ml of Advil every 6 to 8 hours, maximum 4 times a day. Don't forget to shake well before administering.

I hope I've been helpful and I'm available if you have any other questions!
